do you have to pay for W2s from social security office or is it free? 

I only ordered earning statement from there and it's around $100. You dont really need earning statement. I only got it just to make sure I didn't leave any jobs out on the application, and plus just to have an official record of my job history.

How did you send the paperwork and stuff I replied to the email they had sent asking for the stuff.

I scanned the documents and made them into PDF files, and you can download your own tax record on IRS website (There should a link in one of  their email).

Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm getting a background check done with MNRR, I see LIRR and MNRR both use Sterling, how long did the process take when they ask for additional w-2s and such I gotta get some old stuff from the IRS. Anyone got any insight, would be much appreciated.

Mine took around 2 weeks. I gave them W-2, tax documents and earning statement from social security office. It might say consider after they finish the background check but don't worry too much about it. They will likely contact you if there is an issue.

*getting my popcorn ready*

So there might be a class around early 2019. Is there anyone else waiting for a class to start (Book of Rules)?

Has anyone on here been delayed by work verification/paperwork discrepancies? Was contacted a few days before the Nov 9th S&D overview and was asked  correct something on my paperwork. Was told due to the hold up I was not being invited to the overview. Pretty disappointed and hoping this will not be a huge set back... anyone know if there are more S&D overviews coming up in the near future? 

I didn't get delayed but I did receive a call early in the morning around 6am asking me about my job history when I was going through the process. It was a simple fix in my case, so she sent me an overview invite on the same day.

any updates?

Sometimes they forget about you.  If it's been awhile it doesn't hurt to inquire with a email.  HR likes that shit when you bother them!

The HR replied back to me pretty quick but I only sent 3 emails so far (2-3 months in gap). They responded to me with the message "there might be a class in between...." or "we did not receive a schedule yet".

@snoopys16 ahh ok. Thank you for the info. I have been waiting for 7 months after completing all the hiring process.

orientation + cognitive exam -> S &D exam -> basic training -> panel interview

First, they said there will be a class between September and October, then between November and December. Now they said there aren't any classes scheduled for 2019. It is making me wonder if I'm still in the "pool of the candidates" or on the "list".

just passed the S&D exam!! they said probably within the next month they will have a schedule for 2019 classes 

@snoopys16 did one of the hr said that? If so, did they say anything about having classes for other positions?

anybody here?

Off topic question: anyone know what other LIRR classes are coming up this year? such as yardmaster, assistant stationmaster, locomotive engineer, block operator.

I was at the S&D overview yesterday, and they said that they don't have any dates when classes will start yet for 2019.  and when I was at open house a few weeks ago I think they mentioned they don't do background checks or drug test until they have class dates 

@snoopys16 I hope that's true and not forget about the people who took the exams earlier than other people.

any updates? anyone? lol 😕

Hang in there, it’s a brutal wait. I passed the S&D exam in May with Mlad and still haven’t heard anything either. There’s been no communication about the background check, class or anything else since passing the exam. Try to keep the S&D’s somewhat fresh in your head and just go about your life as if your not waiting for anything (I know it’s easier said then done). 

I'm glad im not the only one who is in similar situation. I'm actually processing for different LIRR position and still waiting for background/medical email for almost 5 months.

It's already mid August but nothing yet so far. Starting to lose hope lol 😓

@wstone17 ahh ok I see. I hope I get something by next month or so. It's been almost exactly 4 months since I did an interview and have been waiting since then.

@wstone17 and do you know if everybody receives the background check email? I don't really have anything on my background except my military service and the companies I worked for.

@wstone17 I can't wait till i start working. I'm still waiting on background check or medical email. Do you know if everybody receives that background check email before getting medical email?

@Two2Go did you really see block operator class scheduled for August?! I have been waiting since March 28 to get into the book of rules class. out of 12 people, 8 people went into April class and 4 others were left behind including myself.
